IndicativeThe indicative mood is the most common. It is used
to express facts/opinions or to make an indication.
Most of the statements you make or you read will be in the indicative mood.
Examples:1. Joe picks up the boxes. 2. The German shepherd fetched the stick. 3. Charles closed the window in his room.

Imperative
The imperative mood is also common and is used to give orders or to make requests.
Examples:1.Pick up those boxes. 2.Please, close the window.3.Nicole, don’t stand on the table! 4.Fetch!
(They are imperative sentences)

Interrogative The interrogative mood is used when indicating a
state of questioning
Examples:1. Will you leave me alone now? 2. How did you do in the race?3. Have you seen The Voice this season?
One marker of the interrogative is that frequently the speaker inverts the subject-verb order by placing the helping verb first, before the subject.

Inappropriate Shifts in Mood
• Do not change of shift the verb mood in your sentences unless it makes sense to do so.
• Changing the mood for no reason is considered an “inappropriate shift in mood”
![Page 9: Verb Moods Part One Moody little verbs. Standards ELACC8L1: Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when writing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071806/56649cfd5503460f949cdf5c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Example of Inappropriate Shift
Example: Read the instructions carefully, and you must assemble the equipment completely before beginning the procedure.
This is incorrect because the clauses do not match in mood! One is imperative, the other is indicative. They need to match.
![Page 10: Verb Moods Part One Moody little verbs. Standards ELACC8L1: Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when writing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071806/56649cfd5503460f949cdf5c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
To fix it: Make the Moods Match
Acceptable: Make both imperative• Read the instructions carefully and assemble
the equipment completely before beginning the procedure.
ORAcceptable: Make both indicative• You must read the instructions carefully, and
you must assemble the equipment completely before beginning the procedure.
